====Live Drivers====

Live data drivers are used when you want to receive a stream of data updates into ARDI.

Although they are called 'Live', this information doesn't have to be from real-time sources. While this information //can// be read directly from devices in the field, most often they are taken from the most recent records in a database. 

It's quite possible that you may have both a live driver and a [[historical driver|historical driver]] pointed to the same source of information - particularly if it is a database or historian.
